feels like this came into my life at the time it was most meant to.

szporluk’s diction and cadence meet playful syntax and enjambment to limn a world peopled with mothers, lionesses, fish. the collection takes one from dark lunar fields to midnight pools, all the while synthesizing loss/pain/selfishness/pride etc. with a raw, authentic candor…and it’s bolstered by this lush world building and mystery that suffuses the feeling in abstraction and imagery without needing to be explained, only felt.
